Yes, there should be. Normally Debian takes care of this.

I've just checked sid [1] and LyX wasn't pushed there, yet. I *think*
that Debian policy is to wait for two weeks after a new release, and
if the new version is still missing from the repos (sid), you may file
a bug report (package update request). It might or may not work
quickly enough. Alternatively, build 1.6.8 from sources.

Still getting errors with 2.0.0beta1.

[Rudi Gaelzer]

The LyX version offered on the Fedora 14 repositories has now upgraded to
2.0.0beta1.
When I load a 1.6x multi-document project into the beta version and try to
process it, I get the following error:

Paragraph ended before \gather* was complete.
Missing $ inserted.
Missing \endgroup inserted.
Display math should end with $$.
Misplaced \cr.
Misplaced \noalign.
Misplaced \noalign.
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
Missing $ inserted.

Of course, the document processed just fine with LyX 1.6x.
When I backtraced the error line from the exported tex source, I found that
the problem was in a gather* environment that contains an aligned
sub-environment.  It seems that the lyx - tex conversion is generating an
incorrect source code.
Moreover, LyX stops displaying the equations the moment a sub-environment is
created.  You can verify that very quickly.

Here's the offending cell:

\begin{gather*}
\frac{d\boldsymbol{p}}{dt}=p_{\perp}\frac{d}{dt}\cos\phi\vu
1+p_{\perp}\frac{d}{dt}\sen\phi\vu
2=\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\epsilon_{ij3}\vu
iv_{j}=\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\left(v_{2}\vu 1-v_{1}\vu 2\right),\\
\begin{aligned}\sen\phi p_{\perp}\frac{d\phi}{dt} 
=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}v_{2}=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\frac{p_{\perp}\sen\phi}{\gamma
m_{\alpha}}\\
\cos\phi p_{\perp}\frac{d\phi}{dt} 
=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}v_{1}=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\frac{p_{\perp}\cos\phi}{\gamma
m_{\alpha}},
\end{aligned}

\end{gather*}

Processing the tex source directly, It complained that the paragraph was
ended before \gather* was complete.  I just had to remove the empty line
before \end{gather*} and the document processed all right.

I guess this is a bug...

Fwd: Memoir's pagenotes fail with Lyx

[stefano franchi]

I am cross-posting a message I sent to  computer.text.tex, since the problem
affects LyX..
Lars Madsen's (memoir's maintainer) temporary fix is reported at the end.



 I think I have stumbled upon an incompatibility between memoir and
Lyx. Memoir uses the \pagenote command to produce endnotes. However,
pagenote fails when the text of the pagenote has a comment sign (i.e.
'%') before the closing brace. Which is exactly how Lyx produces
footnotes:
Minimal example:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{memoir}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\makepagenote
\begin{document}
1. This works\pagenote{This is a pagenote}
2 This fails\pagenote{This is a pagenote%
}
\printpagenotes
\end{document}

The second format is how Lyx exports to latex.

Any idea on how to solve the problem is welcome.


Cheers,

Stefano

--Lars Madsen's reply---

very interesting it is caused by \...@sanitize which is used when we write
the pagenote to file, so we end up with

\noteentry{2}{}{This is a pagenote% }{1}

which of course crashes everything when LaTeX attempts to run the .ent
file.

Short term fix

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\makepagenote}{%
   \newwri...@notefile
   \immediate\openo...@notefile=\jobname.ent
   \mempagenotestrue
   \def\pagenot...@bsphack\begingroup
% \...@sanitize
 \...@m@wrpnote}%
   \typeout{Writing note file \jobname.ent}%
   \let\makepageno...@empty}

there were many changes i the pipe code, but i thought they were all 
backported to 1.6... well, i may be wrong. anyway the fixability looks
more like the question for lyz developer, CC-ing now.

actually the problem might be that we changed some lfuns for inserting

puzzled by the \noun command inside \index

[stefano franchi]

Dear Lyxers,

can anyone explain to me why the \noun command (small caps) produces this
funny latex code when used within a \idex command? Consider the following:

 This is a line of text with with a word in small caps: small-caps-word

shows up in the LateX source window as :

Latex 1: This is line of text with a word in small caps: \noun{word}


As it should.



Now try to put the last word of the previous line into a index command and
put it in small caps as well. This is the Latex output:


Latex 2: This is line of text with a word in small caps:
\noun{small-caps-word}\index{small-caps-w...@\noun{small-caps-word}}
^^^

whereas I would expect:


Latex 3: This is line of text with a word in small caps:
\noun{small-caps-word}\index{\noun{small-caps-word}}



Why is the underlined part there? I mean the -- small-caps-word@ . Is it
needed? Is it a bug? I have a feeling that it is messing up my index, even
though I do not get any warning (let alone errors).

Re: LyZ: lyxpipe changes in 2.0?

[Sam Madhani]

Not sure with SVN, but with lyx 2b1 release lyz works almost fine. The only 
problem I had was that the latest lyz cannot create a bibtex record by itself, 
but that seems more like a lyz/firefox related problem. If I touch a .bib file 
manually, then lyz can port citations perfectly.

Table cell vertical alignment with nested tables

[Ramin Nakisa]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with text alignment when I have one column of text juxtaposed
with another column that contains a nested table. The text is aligned with the
centre of the table rather than the top.

Below is a simple document which demonstrates the problem.

Thanks,

It is needed to get your index entry sorted properly. If it would only be 
\index{\noun{small-caps-word}}, your entry would be sorted at \ (and then 
n). The part before the @ is a hint to the index processor where to sort 
the entry.

Fwd: Memoir's pagenotes fail with Lyx

[stefano franchi]

I am cross-posting a message I sent to  computer.text.tex, since the problem
affects LyX..
Lars Madsen's (memoir's maintainer) temporary fix is reported at the end.



 I think I have stumbled upon an incompatibility between memoir and
Lyx. Memoir uses the \pagenote command to produce endnotes. However,
pagenote fails when the text of the pagenote has a comment sign (i.e.
'%') before the closing brace. Which is exactly how Lyx produces
footnotes:
Minimal example:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{memoir}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\makepagenote
\begin{document}
1. This works\pagenote{This is a pagenote}
2 This fails\pagenote{This is a pagenote%
}
\printpagenotes
\end{document}

The second format is how Lyx exports to latex.

Any idea on how to solve the problem is welcome.


Cheers,

--Lars Madsen's reply---

very interesting it is caused by \...@sanitize which is used when we write
the pagenote to file, so we end up with

there were many changes i the pipe code, but i thought they were all

more like the question for lyz developer, CC-ing now.

actually the problem might be that we changed some lfuns for inserting

puzzled by the \noun command inside \index

[stefano franchi]

Dear Lyxers,

can anyone explain to me why the \noun command (small caps) produces this
funny latex code when used within a \idex command? Consider the following:

 This is a line of text with with a word in small caps: small-caps-word

shows up in the LateX source window as :

Latex 1: This is line of text with a word in small caps: \noun{word}


As it should.



Now try to put the last word of the previous line into a index command and
put it in small caps as well. This is the Latex output:


Latex 2: This is line of text with a word in small caps:
\noun{small-caps-word}\index{small-caps-w...@\noun{small-caps-word}}
^^^

whereas I would expect:


Latex 3: This is line of text with a word in small caps:
\noun{small-caps-word}\index{\noun{small-caps-word}}



Why is the underlined part there? I mean the -- small-caps-word@ . Is it
needed? Is it a bug? I have a feeling that it is messing up my index, even
though I do not get any warning (let alone errors).

Re: LyZ: lyxpipe changes in 2.0?

[Sam Madhani]

Not sure with SVN, but with lyx 2b1 release lyz works almost fine. The only 
problem I had was that the latest lyz cannot create a bibtex record by itself, 
but that seems more like a lyz/firefox related problem. If I touch a .bib file 
manually, then lyz can port citations perfectly.

Table cell vertical alignment with nested tables

[Ramin Nakisa]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with text alignment when I have one column of text juxtaposed
with another column that contains a nested table. The text is aligned with the
centre of the table rather than the top.

Below is a simple document which demonstrates the problem.

Thanks,

Ramin.

It is needed to get your index entry sorted properly. If it would only be 
\index{\noun{small-caps-word}}, your entry would be sorted at \ (and then 
n). The part before the @ is a hint to the index processor where to sort 
the entry.

LyX on Linux: how to upgrade?

[Stig Rognes]

Hello all,

I'm a Linux-newbie using LyX for writing, and currently v 1.6.7 is in 
the Debian repos. However, LyX 1.6.8 is latest stable release (released 
15 nov 2010). How can I use apt or synaptic to update to latest version? 
Can I add some repo to my source lists?

(I don't want the 2.0 beta)

Thanks,
S

My LyX: 1.6.7
My OS: CrunchBang Linux 10 "Statler" (Debian based)

Yes, there should be. Normally Debian takes care of this.

I've just checked sid [1] and LyX wasn't pushed there, yet. I *think*
that Debian policy is to wait for two weeks after a new release, and
if the new version is still missing from the repos (sid), you may file
a bug report (package update request). It might or may not work
quickly enough. Alternatively, build 1.6.8 from sources.

there were many changes i the pipe code, but i thought they were all 
backported to 1.6... well, i may be wrong. anyway the fixability looks
more like the question for lyz developer, CC-ing now.

actually the problem might be that we changed some lfuns for inserting
citations and not pipes related at all... see RELEASE_NOTES for the list
of changes.

puzzled by the \noun command inside \index

[stefano franchi]

Dear Lyxers,

can anyone explain to me why the \noun command (small caps) produces this
funny latex code when used within a \idex command? Consider the following:

> This is a line of text with with a word in small caps: small-caps-word

shows up in the LateX source window as :

Latex 1: This is line of text with a word in small caps: \noun{word}


As it should.



Now try to put the last word of the previous line into a index command and
put it in small caps as well. This is the Latex output:


Latex 2: This is line of text with a word in small caps:
\noun{small-caps-word}\index{small-caps-w...@\noun{small-caps-word}}
^^^

whereas I would expect:


Latex 3: This is line of text with a word in small caps:
\noun{small-caps-word}\index{\noun{small-caps-word}}



Why is the underlined part there? I mean the --> small-caps-word@ . Is it
needed? Is it a bug? I have a feeling that it is messing up my index, even
though I do not get any warning (let alone errors).

Re: LyZ: lyxpipe changes in 2.0?

[Sam Madhani]

Not sure with SVN, but with lyx 2b1 release lyz works almost fine. The only 
problem I had was that the latest lyz cannot create a bibtex record by itself, 
but that seems more like a lyz/firefox related problem. If I touch a .bib file 
manually, then lyz can port citations perfectly.

Thanks Pavel,
So this means that 2.0beta/svn doesn't work with LyZ? Is this fixable?
I did try 1.6.8 and it did work :)

Table cell vertical alignment with nested tables

[Ramin Nakisa]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with text alignment when I have one column of text juxtaposed
with another column that contains a nested table. The text is aligned with the
centre of the table rather than the top.

Below is a simple document which demonstrates the problem.

Thanks,

Ramin.

It is needed to get your index entry sorted properly. If it would only be 
\index{\noun{small-caps-word}}, your entry would be sorted at "\" (and then 
"n"). The part before the "@" is a hint to the index processor where to sort 
the entry.

HTH,
Jürgen
